North Korean Navy Ships Send Warnings to ROK Ships Operating Around NLL

Here is another indication that the Moon administration is getting played by the Kim regime over the NLL issue:

Touching on the controversy over the North’s position on the Northern Limit Line (NLL), the de-facto sea border with the South, Jeong said that working-level North Korean officials have yet to accept the NLL as the maritime border, despite leader Kim Jong-un’s apparent recognition of it.

In April, the leaders of the two sides agreed to turn the tense area into a “maritime peace zone.” They used the term “NLL” in their joint statement.

President Moon Jae-in said it indicates that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has virtually recognized the NLL.

The North’s navy, however, had continued to claim its own security line until recently, sending repeated warning messages to South Korean ships crossing it.

That appears to be because North Korea’s front-line troops have not received any new related instructions from Kim, Jeong said.

He added that the North’s working-level officials have not yet agreed to accept the NLL.

Gen. Park Han-ki, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the South urged the North not to take issue with the NLL during the bilateral general-grade talks last week.

“(We) clearly told (the North) to stop sending such inappropriate radio messages,” he said.  [Yonhap]

Kim Jong-un of courses recognizes the NLL, what he recognizes is his definition of the NLL.
